Sony Group Corp expanded the PlayStation Plus service to offer hundreds of games for a flat monthly fee when it launches in the United States, Europe, and Japan in June.
The service will not include new releases, but users can still find big-budget titles such as, including recent hits such as “Spider-Man: Miles Morales,” “Returnal,” and “God of War.”
According to Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan, there will be more from PlayStation Studios, and all of the major publishers will be represented.
While revamping its PlayStation subscription service is a major step toward leveling the playing field with Microsoft’s rival Game Pass, analysts say that holding back new releases may dampen enthusiasm, analysts say.
While Sony is leading in the console war, selling 17 million PlayStation 5 (PS5) units even as chip shortages hit production, it has been under pressure to respond to the growth of Netflix-style game subscription services.
Sony’s new service combines the current PlayStation Plus, which has 48 million subscribers and offers online gaming with a few free games each month, with PlayStation Now, which has 3.2 million users and a library of games to download and stream.
There are three tiers, priced at $9.99 to $17.99 monthly or $59.99 to $119.99 annually.
PlayStation Plus Extra adds a catalog of PS4 and PS5 games. PlayStation Plus Premium offers a further library of older titles, cloud streaming in major markets, and time-limited game trials.
The lowest-price tier, PlayStation Plus Essential, looks like Sony’s current offering.
Lewis Ward, head of gaming research at IDC, noted that the number of PlayStation subscribers in the higher two tiers will increase over time, which is a core reason for this change.
Given the high cost of developing new games, analysts had raised concerns that pressure to bundle more content with subscriptions may eat into profit at Sony’s coveted games unit.
Sony will seek to preserve new game sales alongside the subscription service.
